Greetings people, this is my first time in the guides section, believe it or not...
So, I am going to make a " how to set up a great website " guide, I can tell there are many out there but this one is up to date and more noob friendly. Anyway, lets get started!
Things you will need to download:
Wrath of the Lich King Website: Filebeam - Free Fast File Hosting [Needed]
WAMP (Latest Version): SourceForge.net: Downloading ... [Needed]
Armory: Filebeam - Free Fast File Hosting [Optional]
Lets get started!
Firstly we need to install WAMP which will be the source to your website, it will allow the website to run off your computer.
Click on the installation and continue with the installation and basically, this is the easiest part, just keep clicking next but watch out for things which you have to select. You do not have to enter your email adress and when you get near the end click finish and a white gauge type icon will appear in your toolbar.
Now that is done we can move on, go to your hard drive which is located in " C:\ ". There should be a folder which was created during the installation, it is called " wamp ". Click that and more folders and files will appear, just click the " www " folder.
Now extract the wrath of the lich king website which you should have downloaded before, this is needed! Copy all the files within the folder that you have extracted and paste them into the www folder which we opened before...
Now you have easily clicked paste, all the folders and files from the wotlk website should be in your " www " directory. Now go to the file at the bottom of your directory, it is called " account.php ", open this with notepad and edit the details to your needs and SQL etc.
After you have done that, save the edited file. Right click on WAMP and click the " put online " part and also click the " restart all services " option.
The go to your browser and type in " 127.0.0.1 " or " localhost " into the adress bar, and there you have it.
Now we want to get it public! You need to go to your browser, again...
Now you need to type in " www.dyndns.org ". Sign up and confirm your account etc and click on the " services " tab at the top. Click " dynamic dns " and make a new host.
Click the " enable wildcards " checkbox option and also click the automatic IP link or you can put your hamachi IP, I do not really recommend this though.
Save it and wait a few minutes for the host to update, now go back to your " www " directory and edit the account again in notepad, change this part: $server = "127.0.0.1"; to your new host you just created with dyndns, save that, wait for your host or get the updator from dyndns.org site, do the same again with WAMP, restart etc and then type in your host you created with DYNDNS!
Your site should be there and working public, if it isn't then you need to forward your ports and edit your hosts file in " windows " directory.
